Clover online ordering pricing in 2026
Clover's online ordering rides on its restaurant software plans, which NerdWallet's May 2026 review lists at $89.95 to $109.90 a month for Quick-Service Dining and $89.95 to $129.85 for Full-Service Dining, month-to-month. Online and keyed transactions process at 3.5% + 10¢, against 2.3% + 10¢ in person. Clover's own online-ordering page did not expose a separate price when read, and BentoBox, the restaurant website platform Clover acquired, now directs new customers to Clover without publishing pricing. Hardware promotions require a three-year commitment.

What a $40 online order costs on Clover
Clover's online ordering does not have a price of its own that we could find. It rides on the restaurant software plans, which NerdWallet's May 2026 review lists at $89.95 to $109.90 a month for Quick-Service Dining and $89.95 to $129.85 for Full-Service Dining, month to month.
The number that does the damage is the processing spread. Online and keyed transactions run at 3.5% + 10¢ against 2.3% + 10¢ in person, a gap of 1.2 percentage points and the widest among the systems compared here. On $10,000 a month of online orders that spread alone is about $1,440 a year.
| Channel | Rate | Cost on $40 | Monthly software |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clover online or keyed | 3.5% + 10¢ | $1.50 | $89.95–$129.85 restaurant plan |
| Clover in person | 2.3% + 10¢ | $1.02 | same plan |
| Square Free online | 3.3% + 30¢ | $1.62 | $0 |
| Ginger Direct | as low as 2% + 5¢; $1 fee paid by the guest | about $0.85 | $0 |
Clover's online rate is 1.2 points above its in-person rate, the widest gap among the systems compared here. Hardware runs $699 for Flex Pocket to $1,899 for Station Duo, per the same review.
Two things to confirm with a reseller
Clover sells through resellers whose terms differ, so the published figures are a starting point rather than your quote. Confirm whether online ordering is included in your plan or billed separately, and get the answer in writing, because the pages themselves do not settle it.
Also confirm the commitment. Software is month to month per that review, but hardware promotions require a three-year commitment and payment processing may carry its own term. Hardware itself runs $699 for a Flex Pocket to $1,899 for a Station Duo. Separately, BentoBox, the restaurant website platform Clover acquired, now tells new customers it is Clover and publishes no pricing of its own.
What is and isn't published
Published in a dated review: plan prices, in-person and online processing rates, hardware prices, month-to-month software, and the three-year commitment attached to hardware promotions. Not found: a standalone Clover online-ordering fee, and any BentoBox pricing since its move under Clover. Ask a Clover reseller for both in writing; Clover sells through resellers whose terms differ.
